Why USED Audi's Are So Cheap!

Why USED Audi's Are So Cheap!

Are Audi's cheap? Well, the question you need to answer is if Audi is worth it. We'll talk about Audi reliability, cost of ownership and maintenance, the new technology in Audi luxury cars, and of course in the end, Audi depreciation.

It's all about whether or not #Audi is worth it. #Depreciation and #reliability are both factors, and I'd like to explain why both are reasons that used Audi's are so cheap.

There's a little bit in today's video about the link between Audi and Volkswagen. We'll also explore a little how BMW and Audi reliability is fairly similar.

You can order your own parts and have VW repair to cut your maintenance costs. You'll save damn near 50%

Make it a rule: Whenever you buy a BMW, Audi or a Benz, buy a full warranty with it. a 2k-3.5K warranty will save the day . All what he said apply to all Luxury German cars.

I purchased a 2008 Audi A4 Cabriolet last year with 89000 miles. Asking price 8000 offered 7000. PPI done showed motor mounts and oil leak. Paid 6750 and repairs. One year later my wife and I are enjoying one of the finest examples of these beautiful cars with no car payment. So when I pay 150 for oil change or 650 for new front rotors and brakes it doesn’t hurt so bad at all. We love our Audi.

You could take everything he said, change it from Audi to BMW and it would apply. Be smart about any purchase. Do your due diligence before you buy. there are good Audi's and BMW's out there.

February 2021: “Why are used Audis so cheap?
August 2021: “Why are used Audis so damn expensive?”

[chippo]

I agree with most points, I don’t agree with the point that they look dated quickly. I’d say that’s the same with most car manufacturers. However, Audi is one of the companies that this is least applicable really. Look over say the past three generations of their different lineups. Their basic design principles have stayed very much the same over the past 10 years.

[Coleyouknow]

I own many Audis, I just really enjoy them. I have a few really high mileage ones and they still run phenomenally, a couple of 2010 A4s both tuned to stage 2 from IE both around 190k. No issues... I daily drive a SQ5 stage 2 dual pulley (has been since 2018) and it has 165k miles on it, again no issues. It's just about maintenance and doing it properly. Audi has top mounted oil filters and have since like 2007 which makes oil changes much easier. And before someone says that an oil change is super expensive. One Audi recommends it be done every 10k or so. I personally do them every 5k, but it's only $60 for my SQ5 and a bit cheaper for the a4s. You can't go wrong with an Audi if you're going german. Better interior than Mercedes and BMW, VW's are just cheap but thats on purpose. In all reality, Audis depreciate so much because people keep saying they're unreliable. And too expensive to fix, I own a used car dealership. And I specialize in Audis pretty damn near exclusively. No hate on the video, definitely just watch out on what you buy. But just because someone says it's not a good car to buy doesn't mean it is. Do your own research and find something that you'll know you'll enjoy. But if you do buy an Audi please don't drive it like a douchebag, it's an Audi not a bmw.

I bought a 2018 used Audi A3 in Jan of 2021 with 19, 000 miles i now have 27k on it and loving it. The car also has clean car facts and it’s well maintained 👍🏽.

Rust is a huge problem. Wealthy people also tend to wear them hard during their leases, because they eventually get a new one. The suspensions on Audis are also pretty complex, and hitting potholes / road imperfections for years will lead to costly repairs. You absolutely cannot just go off of the mileage and exterior condition alone.

I bought 2015 manufactured used Audi A5 Sportback...almost 2 years owning, so far so good & it never has any breakdowns so far...as l bought, it came together with 1 year 3rd party warranty...warranty covers engine, transmission, ecu, ecm as well as braking system...handling really 👍...do servicing outside service centre is affordable...really love the car

[luisrosales]

The best deals on used German luxury cars are the 2-3 year old lease cars with no miles.

[jcass]

Always loved Audi. Had a chance to buy a 2015 A6 Prestige. Had the 3.0 and everything in it I could've wished for, and in unbelievable condition. Took the chance and bought it. So happy that I did - It will take a lot for me to buy any other brand...ever. I'm not even close to rich, and always worked on my own cars for typical maintenance, so I learn how to do those same things on the Audi. Believe it or not, in some cases like oil changes, it's easier than my Chevys ever were. I've got 110k miles now and (knock on wood) no problems at all. Told the wife that she's gonna have yo bury me in the damn thing. Only regret is that I should've bought a Sport. So now I'm gonna tune this one and start looking for a used Q5 or A7 for a daily.

[jestertheslacker]

They’re money pits and the owners want to get rid of them ASAP. There

[Jukkala]

I finally figured out that if you want to drive one of these cars, save up and pay cash for them. Instead of making a car payment, contribute to a maintenance/repair fund.

[GaryWillman]

I've been an Audi fan for most of my life. Currently daily a Q5 and a RS4 B7 for weekends. If you stay on top of maintenance they run forever.

[ronniedefelice]

I own a 2001 Audi A6 4.2 that I purchased over 3 years ago now, I bought it with 190k on it. It's at 215k right now and it runs like brand new. I purchased it from an older guy who took very good care of it and it shows. I replaced the timing belt out of choice, but that's the only thing I've had done to it besides regular maintenance.

[aidenm]

3:49 you LITERALLY described my exact situation when I was still looking for a car. 17 and looking at luxury cars w a lower budget bc I wanted to look cool and had my eyes on a $5k 2009 Audi A4 w 130k miles on it. Realized that even though I’d be the one paying for maintenance and stuff on it I didn’t rly wanna put too much money into it so I didn’t get one which makes me feel a lot better ab it tbh lol

[schuylerambrose]

About 10 years ago, I had a first generation A6. A 1997 to be exact. I drove it for 3 years and over 100, 000mi and the car was surprisingly reliable. Never had any mechanical or electrical issues. I used it as a delivery vehicle when I worked as a courier. I don't know how the later models are but the first generation A6 worked extremely well for me and it was relatively easy to service

[replicant]

There were multiple Audis in my family between me, my brother and my father and none of them new. We had 2001 A4 (still with my father), 2003 A4, 2006 A6 (mine, still have it), 2016 Q5 (my brothers), 2018 A6 (my fathers) and now I'm waiting for delivery of 2018 Q7. None of them caused any issues, nothing broke down, we only did maintenance and we had them for years. No rust, no breakages.

[byronnash]

I have a 2013 Audi A6 and no problems, leaks or anything I paid 15k for it in 2019 so I got a great deal in retrospect mileage now 108k
